On Monday night the president of Uganda H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni addressed the nation on how the country is fairing in as far as Covid-19 is concerned.
In his rather long but elaborate speech, the president argued that because the government had done more than enough to educate it’s people the different ways of preventing the spread of the virus, he would be opening up a few key sectors of the economy most notably the tourism sector, Air transport and the churches. The head of state emphasized that as long as the key sectors observed the standard operating procedures then all was good for them to resume work.
Patiently waiting to hear their fate in as far the lock down as concerned people working in the entertainment industry like bars, clubs musicians and promoters were never mentioned or talked about.
The president’s failure to give assurances to such sectors led to a huge uproar among the victims and infact on Tuesday afternoon the legit bar, entertainment and restaurant owners association made a press conference with an aim of passing out their message of frustration to the head of state.
And as if yesterday’s pressers wasn’t enough to have the president get the message from the entertainment industry.
To further re-emphasize the need to open up all bars and the entire entertainment ,a yet to be identified man took to the streets of Kampala and undressed himself demanding that the government let’s all promoters back to work as soon as possible
